you're a dream i forget
you're a secret, you're safe with me
i know some pretty famous people
but they're pretty old and boring
and you, you're a mystery
i wouldn't say it's cause you're far away
but i can't complain
i think i like it this way
i'd like to tell you while i've got you on the phone:
i think i'll take you, i think i'd like to keep you

you're a dream: you're unrealistic
you're funny like a taste in my mouth
we might as well be on an island
i mean who's gonna stop me from solving your mysteries?
we spent our time and got close - maybe too close
i got scared, or bored, or both
i pulled away and it was over for me
and i guess that means it's over for you
it's over for you, it's over for you
i'm not here to make your dreams come true
or paint your grey skies blinding blue
i can't divide myself by you

you're a dream: i wonder if i ever had you, but not for long
you used to get me all excited
but i guess you got boring
no more mystery
i can't confirm it's cause you're far away
but don't complain
you'll come to like it this way
and i could send you some apologetic note, but i won't
that's not what i do
that's not what i do, that's not what i do
i'm not here to make your dreams come true
or paint your grey skies blinding blue
i can't divide myself by you
